Description
Management of Network Bandwidth
Managing network bandwidth on a Cisco 2951-WAAS-SEC/K9 router involves configuring the router to control and allocate bandwidth to different devices and applications on your network. The following are some methods to manage network bandwidth on this router:
- Quality of Service (QoS): QoS is a set of features that allows you to prioritize different types of network traffic, such as voice or video, to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need. QoS can be configured on the router using the command-line interface (CLI) or through a web-based interface.
- Traffic Shaping: Traffic shaping is a technique that regulates the amount of traffic that is sent or received over a network. It can be used to limit the bandwidth of specific devices or applications to prevent them from consuming too much bandwidth.
- Access Control Lists (ACLs): ACLs are a set of rules that are used to control access to network resources. They can be used to limit the amount of bandwidth that is available to specific devices or IP addresses on your network.
- Bandwidth Monitoring: Bandwidth monitoring allows you to track the amount of bandwidth that is being used on your network in real-time. This information can be used to identify devices or applications that are consuming excessive bandwidth and take appropriate action to resolve the issue.
- Prioritize the important traffic: You can prioritize the important traffic such as VoIP, video conferencing or any other business critical applications to ensure that they always have enough bandwidth to operate smoothly.
High Reliability and Scalability
The Cisco 2951-WAAS-SEC/K9 is a high-reliability and scalable router that is designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized businesses. The following features contribute to the router’s high reliability and scalability:
- Redundancy and failover: The router supports various redundancy and failover mechanisms such as Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), and Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) that can help to ensure that your network remains operational even in the event of a failure.
- High-availability features: The router supports high-availability features such as Stateful switchover (SSO) and Non-Stop Forwarding (NSF) which provide hitless failover and fast recovery in the case of a failure.
- Modularity: The router has a modular design that allows you to add or replace components as your network grows. This allows you to add more ports, memory, or processing power as your network expands.
- Flexible Network Interface Modules (NIMs): The router supports flexible Network Interface Modules (NIMs) that allow you to add various types of connectivity options such as T1/E1, T3, and more, depending on the specific requirements of your network.
- Security features: The router supports advanced security features such as firewall, VPN, intrusion detection and prevention, and more to protect your network from external threats.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The router supports Quality of Service (QoS) features that allow you to prioritize different types of network traffic, such as voice or video, to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.
Backup and Restore Procedures
The backup and restore procedures for a Cisco 2951-WAAS-SEC/K9 router involve creating a backup copy of the router’s configuration file and storing it in a safe location, and then restoring the configuration file in case of a failure or when you need to replace the router. The following are the steps to backup and restore the configuration of a Cisco 2951-WAAS-SEC/K9 router:
Backup Configuration:
- Connect to the router’s command-line interface (CLI) using a terminal emulator such as PuTTY.
- Log in to the router using your username and password.
- Enter the “copy running-config startup-config” command to save the current configuration to the router’s non-volatile memory (NVRAM).
- Enter the “copy running-config tftp” command to backup the current configuration to a TFTP server.
Restore Configuration:
- Connect to the router’s command-line interface (CLI) using a terminal emulator such as PuTTY.
- Log in to the router using your username and password.
- Enter the “copy tftp running-config” command to restore the configuration from a TFTP server.
- If the router does not boot properly, you can use the “configure factory-default” command to restore the router to its factory default configuration.
